Noel Gallagher: Without doubt the finest book I’ve ever read about songwriters and the songs they write.

Annie Lennox: It makes for a fascinating read…Especially if you’re trying to get a sense of what it takes to write songs…

Joan Armatrading: I think you will enjoy this book.  It’s a good read and I was really interested to see what other songwriters had to say about their way of going about the creative process.

John Lydon website  This is one of the few interviews that pays full respect to John’s musical and lyrical skills and is highly recommended.

Chris Difford: …so much work. It reads really well and prides a place on my coffee table…
